1. Physically connect the EtherCAT IN port of the M1 drive to your EtherCAT network.
2. Set the desired EtherCAT node address on the rotary dials. (Modify the node address while the unit is powered off)

3. Add the drive to the EtherCAT network. If the M1 drive is not part of the toolbox, make sure Sysmac is up to date. 

4. Syncronise the project to the PLC.
    

Navigate the the Motor parameters in the EtherCAT tree.

Parameters can be transferred after setting using the buttons at the bottom of the page.

Set the below parameters and transfer them to the drive.

Motor Nameplate Parameters

F004 (Base Frequency): For the base frequency, set the rated frequency of the motor (the frequency listed on the motor rating nameplate). This is usually 50Hz in AU/NZ.

F005 (Rated Voltage at Base Frequency): The voltage rating of the motor and the base frequency. 
80 to 240: (200 V class series) 
160 to 500: (400 V class series)

F011 (Motor Electronic Thermal Level): Set to the motor continuous allowable current(in Amps).

P001 (Motor Pole Number): Set to the number of poles in the motor. 

Application Specific Parameters

F003 (Maximum Output Frequency): For the maximum frequency, set the highest frequency required for your application. However, do not exceed the maximum rotation speed of the motor.

F002 (Run Command Selection): Configure how you wish the drive to start the motor.
1: Terminal command FW or RV
5: EtherCAT (Default)

F001 (Frequency Reference): Configure how the frequency output is set.
1: Analog Voltage Input (Input Terminal[AI1])
7: UP/DOWN control
10: Pattern operation
12: Pulse train input
13: Calculation result
15: EtherCAT (Default)

F007 (Acceleration Time): Sets the acceleration time. The value set defines the period from 0Hz to maximum output frequency. A smaller value means a faster acceleration and visa versa. 

F008(Deceleration Time): Sets the deceleration time. The value set defines the period from 0Hz to maximum output frequency. A smaller value means a faster deceleration and visa versa. 

1. Add the drive to the EtherCAT network. If the M1 drive is not part of the toolbox, make sure Sysmac is up to date. 
    

2. Create variables targeting the M1 drive PDO in the I/O Map.

3. Use the provided function block library to control the inverter. The below example does basic frequency control.

Set the control logic to PNP by changing SW1 to ON. 

Option A - 2 Wire Control 

Ensure that the below parameters are on their default settings:

E098 (Input Terminal DI6): 98(FWD, Forward rotation / 3-wire run)

E099(Input Terminal DI7): 99(REV, Reverse rotation)

Wire the terminals as per below.

 

 

Option B - 3 Wire Control

Ensure that the below parameters are set as follows:

E098 (Input Terminal DI6): 98(FWD, Forward rotation / 3-wire run)

E099(Input Terminal DI7): 6(STP, 3-wire stop)

E001(Input Terminal DI1): 97(F/R, 3-wire forward/reverse )

Wire the terminals as per below.

 

 

To use Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) on 3G3M1, ensure both switches on SW9 are ON (Left), like picture below. This will disable the wired safety inputs.
 

1. PDO Mapping

1. Multiview explorer -> Configurations and Setup -> EtherCAT
    

2. Select the correct node.

3. In the Node information click on the Edit PDO Map Settings.

4. Select and apply the:
   Output: 273th receive PDO Mapping
   Input: 273th transmit PDO Mapping

 

 

2. Set FSOE slave address

1. To get the unique FSoE slave address right click on the Safety I/O and select Edit.

2. In this example the FSoE slave address is 3.
    

3. Open the parameters of the 3G3M1-ECT inverter.
    

4. Select the parameter Index H483.

5. Add the FSoE slave address no 3. Download the parameters to the drive.

 

 

3. Assign I/O Map

1. Select Safety CPU and then I/O Map in the Configuration and Setup window.

   

2. Enter the wanted variable names manually. The Variable Comment comes from the Parameter setup made for the different units.

1. Ensure that the safety function selector DIP switch has both switches set OFF to enable the safety input. Only change the status of the DIP switches while the inverter is powered off.

2. Enable EDM by setting E20 (Output Terminal D01) or E027 (Output Terminal ROA/ROB) to 102. 
3. Wire the drive as per below (for compliance with ISO13849-1 PL-e)

To initialize the inverter, right click the drive in the EtherCAT tree and select “Initialize”. 

Then select “OK”

To initialize the inverter, set H003 to 1. Press the STOP key + UP/DOWN key simultaneously to change the parameter H003 value.
